They do it as a matter of course if you change address, but other than that, the old style paper licence is as "legal" as the new style.

Refusing to hand it in when requested is totally different and is a criminal offence, simply not wanting to send it off just to get a photo card one is not illegal, but is actually quite a usefull id that most places will accept, but no it's perfectly legal to have one.

I got grief at the police station as my paper lisence is still at my mums place but the insurance is at mine. I pointed out that the car was registered at my mums address and that was where it is stored. They said as long as I was contactable through the address they weren't worried.

As far as I'm aware you cant use your old paper licence abroad. I need to sort mine out anyhows...I sellotaped it back together back in 2001 as it fell apart whilst working abroad, and the address is also around five year out of date As is all the convictions
